Ingredients
5
tbsp
unsweetened cocoa
1
tbsp
butter
1
tbsp
hazelnut spread
14
oz
can sweetened condensed milk
½
cup
hazelnuts
chopped
Instructions
Add the cocoa, butter, hazelnut spread and sweetened condensed milk to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Mix together and continue stirring for 15 minutes, or until very thick.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Allow to cool for 20 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
Use a small buttered spoon to scoop out the chocolate.
Butter the palms of your hands and roll the chocolate into approximately quarter sized balls.
Roll the balls in the chopped hazelnuts.
Place in paper candy cups or mini muffin cups.
Notes
If you'd like to roll the chocolate truffles in something besides chopped hazelnuts, I recommend the following sprinkles, nuts or candies.
Chopped Peanuts
Chopped Macadamia Nuts
Chocolate Sprinkles
Rainbow Sprinkles
Colored Sprinkles for holidays
Shredded Coconut
Mini M&M’s
Chopped Pistachios
